The Eternal Empire of Illevium is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Ilevus XXII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 31.647 billion Illevians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Education, with Social Policy and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Administration receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illevium City. The average income tax rate is 20.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Illevian economy, worth a remarkable 4,545 trillion Florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,636 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, and carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing. Crime is totally unknown. Illevium's national animal is the Solar Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Illevium is ranked 77,692nd in the world and 1st in Etheria for Most Stationary, with 622.78003892052 days.
